TOPIC: Why do fat grafts and PMMA harden? Could it be treated? (+DMSO Discussion)

I also read on another site that pure DMSO should not come from a plastic container, but rather glass.

Anyways, I found this source of pharmaceutical grade DMSO and the site\'s advertisement of it seems to be the most honest I\'ve seen (they admit many people use it on the skin):
www.mineral-solutions.net/DMSO-Pharmaceutical-Grade

Ideally I\'d use that product for safety reasons, but the Biovea stuff you guys use has been reported by both of you to at least temporarily work. Also, according to the bottle, the Biovea doesn\'t smell bad (does it?). So I have a choice to make...potentially safer but smellier and unproven product, or a product proven by you guys to work that doesnt smell, but may give me violent dick cancer.

Hmm..

I\'ve been using DMSO on the left side nodules (those that were not excised surgically) since October 1. These have been present since April (R3 in March 2015). So, about 6 months later, nothing changed despite Kenalog and 5fu. That\'s why I had surgery after Kenalog and 5-fu failed. Well... I wish I used DMSO to put it mildly. I tried it briefly before, but it was too close to my open wound.

This time, I used it for 2 weeks 1-3 times per day. Then, I took a week off. I went back after that week. It still seemed to be changing in my week off. I used the same formula as Red1975. Biovea 99% pure DMSO (3 parts) with Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar (1 part). I mixed the 4 parts in a syringe (no needle) and then just dripped it out on my skin and rubbed it in with a sterile tongue depressor from amazon. I let it air dry, and then sometimes use castor and emu oil, though I don\'t think that part is as important. It keeps the skin less irritated though.

I\'ve also added in traction after the DMSO, which may help pull the nodules and thin them out maybe (who knows - I need to use it anyway).

I wish I did this sooner, but I had that freakish open wound for 2 months, so I was afraid it would hurt that area. I don\'t know if it can help nodules that feel like BBs (still TBD) - but it has considerably softened the islands of PMMA tissue and the rough edges I have had form after R3. They\'re still there, but not as hard. In the Erect state, there is far less of a transition between those uneven / unnatural edges and the softer PMMA tissue.

Pics don\'t really tell the story since this is all about feel... and it continues to improve. Pics tend to look the same, I think.

I would REALLY encourage anyone with nodules to try this. Kenalog and 5-fU were both useless for me, despite the literature. How DMSO works... I have no idea... but it absolutely is working. It can feel mildly annoying to do it every day - with the measuring, cleaning the penis, and walking around waiting for it to dry off. But, I see no real downside - and the results are pretty good. DMSO is strong stuff. Some dripped on my ottoman that has a leather top and it took the finish off the spot on the leather! (The penis is still the same color).

Oddly enough, it burns / itches when i put it on skin like my leg or forearm (as a test), but I have no issue on the penis. The smell of vinegar is also a reason I stopped using it earlier, but I think that isn\'t the part that even does anything. I suppose Iodine can be used, or even sterile water... the DMSO is the anti-inflammatory agent, and it\'s a universal solvent - so maybe it\'s getting some of the PMMA out of the tissue and more evenly distributed? I have no idea, but it works. I am not sure how far it can work, but for now I\'ll keep trying with a few weeks on and off. I think the body continues to remodel the area once the DMSO triggers the anti-inflammatory action (or whatever it does). I also used some additional massage of the nodules apart from traction, but DMSO is doing 90% of the work.
